The Utah Jazz today recalled center Kyrylo Fesenko from the Utah Flash, their affiliate in the NBA Development League.
Fesenko's recall, coach Jerry Sloan said this morning, was promted by the team's injury situation.
Sixth-man forward Andrei Kirilenko does not plan to play to tonight when the Jazz face LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers at EnergySolutions Arena due to recurring pain in his inflamed right foot.
Also tonight, All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer (arthroscopic knee surgery) will miss a 32nd straight game.
Replacement starter Paul Millsap, however, does plan to play despite missing Friday's practice with soreness in his bruised right knee.
"Good to go," Millsap said after this morning's shoot around.
With Kirilenko out, Sloan said starting-small forward Ronnie Brewer will be the primary defender on Cavalier's All-Star James.
